Accessing functions between windows

[Leo Smith]

I would like to know how to access a function in a window from a created window. Here is a sample.

Original Window:
function OpenJobPage(varid)
{
var newWin = window.open('subwin.aspx?id=' + varid, 'popNewWindow' + jobid, 'toolbar=0, ' + 'height=500, width=850, resizable=1, scrollbars=1');

if(newWin.opener == null)
newWin.opener = window;
newWin.focus();
return false;
}

function RefreshContents()
{
// ... function
}

// Function in created window
function RefreshParent()
{
try
{
if(window.opener != null)
{
alert("Attempting Refresh");
parent.window.opener.RefreshList();
}
}
catch(ex)
{
alert("Function Missing:\n\n" + ex);
}

}

I get the refresh alert, it just doesn't run the script from the first window.

Thanks,
Leo

i believe you need to take parent. off
window.opener should call it.

I tried it both ways and it still doesn't open an alert for the dialog.

I narrowed down the problem. Function is calling, but I am trying to do an AJAX call from the page, and I don't think I can do that from another page. The function needs to call the server to update a table in the originating page. I'll see what I can come up with.
